Common questions in Burnt Hill
How far is Burnt Hill from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Burnt Hill?
Pangbourne station, about 4.2 miles east of the centre.
Is the meat halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
How much choice do we need?
Not usually. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
How our BBQ catering works in Burnt Hill
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Burnt Hill, outdoors under cover, and our staff serve and clear. We are frequently asked to cater fundraising barbecues and school fairs and summer fêtes, serving beef brisket, chicken skewers and sausages.
In a small place like Burnt Hill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
